I have had my pc freeze up when streaming live sports on Reddit website for the last week .

I am trying to find out if there is any chance of a virus from the streaming sites like Streamendous or Strikeout causing this .

My Avast scan is good but I have to reboot my computer every time I load a live stream .

Any info on this is appreciated .

Very unlikely that it's a dodgy link or download, just too many adverts or Cookies for the connection speed or bandwidth.
New operating system or try the Windows disk boot that was with the laptop when new.

I get this issue sometimes, as Vista is not supported too well and gets cooked out!
 
The only way I can possibly get one of those types of streams to work is to install some type of script blocker in my browser. uBlock Origin is my current preferred. It mitigates, to a large extent, the chaotic mess of JavaScript thrown at your browser, weighing things down to the point of failure. Sometimes it takes some wriggling: you may need to manually allow the script that shows the video, for example.

You should be running below 50%. If that's true then it's not you.
Will that work for porn movies as well

the start button is just below the "turbo" button on the tower.
